In
this study, the strength characteristics of the expanded perlite aggregate,
waste marble dust and tragacanth added cement based composite material were
investigated. A composite construction material was prepared using expanded
perlite aggregate with a particle size of 0-2 mm and 2-4 mm at the ratio of 10%, 30% and 50% by weight,
waste marble powder produced by sieving through 0.25 mm sieve at the ratio
of 10% and 20%, tragacanth at the ratio of 0%, 0.5% and %1 and CEMI 42.5 N type
Portland cement. Density, compressive strength, abrasion loss, water absorption,
compressive strength after elevated temperature and compressive strength after
freezing-thawing tests were
performed on these prepared composite samples. It was seen that compressive
strength, compressive strength after elevated temperature, compressive strength
after freezing-thawing and density values have decreased and abrasion loss and
water absorption values have increased as expanded perlite particle size,
expanded perlite ratio, tragacanth ratio have increased and waste marble powder
ratio has decreased on the prepared samples.
